The Pennsylvania Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial (America250PA) was established by the legislature and Governor in 2018 to plan, encourage, develop and coordinate the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, Pennsylvania’s integral role in that event, and the impact of its people on the nation’s past, present, and future. Jaclyn’s role focuses on engaging every Pennsylvanian in every county of the Commonwealth to ensure that the Semiquincentennial is the largest and most inclusive commemoration in our history!
